Skyworks Solutions has recently introduced several new backlight LED drivers supporting next-generation smartphones and tablets that are multi-channel products tailored to support display panels ranging in size from 4- to 12- inch, and can significantly enhance image quality and resolution while maximizing battery life.
"Skyworks is excited to be offering smartphone and tablet providers a broad range of analog power management and lighting solutions," said John O'Neill, vice president and general manager of power, lighting and display at Skyworks. "The need for increasingly complex solutions to help meet consumers' insatiable desire for longer battery life and better image quality from their mobile devices represents a strategic growth opportunity for Skyworks."
According to IHS iSuppli, shipments of smartphones with screens 5-inch or larger will more than double to over 60 million units in 2013 as consumers are increasingly attracted to larger screen sizes. Currently, large-screen phones represent approximately 7% of the overall smartphone market.
